WORTH IT
Hi everyone,
I was so excited when I found out that I could get this surgery covered by my medical assistance and at 100% covered. So this was even more motivation for me to get the surgery. I had been to my pc twice got approval and was scheduled within a month. Surgery was done 4/28/15! I am 20days post op now and I must say it went well after surgery I was not in a lot of pain slept on the coach for the first week n some days. Worst part was the drains, measuring them and removal thank goodness they were removed the Friday after surgery. I just removed my steri strips because I noticed a funny smell from them being on so long and per my doctor I have started scar massage and applying some antibiotic ointment to where the odor was coming from. Please feel free to ask me anything!! If your thinking about getting it done I say go for it! Best feeling!

1 month post op officially today!
My recovery has been absolutely perfect! My swelling is gradually going down its still a bit boxy but everyone can tell the difference between 2 weeks and now almost 5 weeks post op. My scars are healing so well it almost appears that there is going to be no visible incision line. I am so pleased. My surgeon purposely placed some of the sutures to be left outside of the skin for better healing and I must say he did right! I go back to him in a month for a check up. I can go get fitted for a bra now but was advised to maybe wait a few more weeks since the swelling isn't completely gone and the breast will change still. At 3 months I can go back to underwire bras!! Pics below!

Did you have a fng, or loose pigmentation in your nipples?

I lost some pigmentation due to the nipple healing but it is definitely coming back to normal I use bio oil for my scar massage and it's helped alot

You look great! This motivates me to have the surgery.

I am extremely nervous! I have surgery tomorrow. We're you ever offered the chance to try on sizers, to determine which size you would like to go down too?
